This publication provides basic information on the nutrient needs of trees and shrubs, types of fertilizers to apply and recommended methods and times of application.
Ornamental sweetpotatoes are extremely heat-tolerant, tropical, perennial vines grown as annuals in North Carolina. They look great covering annual beds, hanging over walls or trailing from containers. This publication covers cultivars, how to select the plants, care through the growing season and pests and diseases.
This Landscape Design Chapter from the Extension Gardener Handbook discusses the principles design as well as guiding readers through the steps to create an environmentally friendly landscape design.
This publication tells gardeners why they should test their soil, how to obtain a soil test and interpret the results and how to use the soil test to improve their soils.
This final publication in the Pruning Trees & Shrubs series gives tips for pruning specific plants.
A properly planted tree or shrub will be more tolerant of adverse conditions and require much less management than one planted incorrectly. Planting technique impacts water quality as it minimizes water, fertilizer and pesticide use. When making decisions on planting techniques, one should consider how the plant was grown in the nursery, the plant's drainage requirements, the soil type and drainage characteristics, and the availability of irrigation water. The plant should be specifically appropriate to the site, or the site should be amended to specifically fit the plant.
Landscapers and home gardeners rely upon plants and shrubs in this size category because of their relatively low maintenance demands. Modern trends in landscaping depict this growing concern by utilizing groundcovers, dwarf, or slow-growing shrubs.
Small and intermediate size trees play an important role in the landscape. They can be quite functional and offer seasonal beauty. These trees are generally very easy to maintain and require a minimum of pruning.
Boxwoods have been an important part of North Carolina landscapes since colonial times; the first plants were introduced to American gardeners in 1652. Boxwoods are suitable for formal and informal landscape use as edging, hedge, screen, accent, and specimen plants. While boxwoods are considered an essential component of historical and colonial gardens, they can also be used in traditional and contemporary landscape designs.
This third in a series on pruning offers general tips on pruning most landscape plants.
Sooner or later most home gardeners think about growing roses. Landscape uses are quite varied because of the many different types of roses. They can be mass planted in beds, used as specimen or trained plants, planted as screens or hedges, or located near fences or arbors and allowed to climb. Several miniature cultivars can even be used as a ground cover or as edging material. Roses are available in almost any color imaginable and are suited to a number of sites.
Field preparation using low-till practices, cover crops and soil amendments improves quality of both soils and ornamentals plants during production. Correct planting techniques and useful planting density scenarios are suggested. Guidelines for pruning during production are given so growers can create a niche by improving plant quality during field production of nursery stock.
Large trees are dominant features in the landscape. Many plans rely on trees for several design functions: to provide background, enclosure, define spaces, help reduce noise and unsightly views. Trees also provide needed shade, channel breezes, and break forceful winds. They also help the environment by filtering pollutants and exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide.
Lagerstroemia, crapemyrtle as it is commonly known, is a favorite small tree or large shrub for many southern gardeners. The common name crapemyrtle was derived from the crinkled petals on the end of a long, narrow stem and the similarity of the leaves to a myrtle. Crapemyrtle, also known as "Flower of the South," performs beautifully in all areas of North Carolina except in the highest elevations of hardiness zone 6.
Shrubs in this category are useful in landscape situations as hedges, small screens, accent plants, large mass plantings, and large foundation shrubs. These plants can be pruned periodically and maintained at a reasonable size.
The use of wildflowers in the landscape has increased since Lady Bird Johnson first promoted them in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Wildflowers were further popularized by the "Meadow in a Can" seed collections that were marketed in the early 1980s. A number of books have been written that describe methods for planning and planting wildflowers, however, few recommendations are available regarding maintenance and long-term weed management. In wildflower plantings, weed management is a complex system that requires knowledge of the specific wildflowers and weeds, environmental conditions, and control methods. Therefore, the objective of this leaflet is to discuss weed management strategies that can be applied to the planning, establishment, maintenance and renovation stages of a naturalized wildflower planting.
This publication for property owners and landscapers describes how to prune trees and shrubs properly, which results in attractive, healthy trees and shrubs.
Peonies are long-lived, perennial flowers that produce large flowers in the spring. Colors include black, coral, cream, crimson, pink, purple, rose, scarlet, white, and yellow. By planting early, mid-season, and late flowering cultivars, you can have peonies flowering for 6 to 8 weeks. Two types of peonies are grown in North Carolina: garden peonies (Paeonia valbiflora or Paeonia officinalis) and tree peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa). This leaflet covers the planting, care and maintenance and potential problems associated with growing peonies in North Carolina.
Manual removal of weeds is time consuming, expensive, and often results in damage to landscape plants when intertwined roots of both the weed and the ornamental plant are pulled up. Nonselective herbicides (which must be selectively applied to avoid injury to desirable plants) are typically used for postemergence annual and perennial weed control. This publication covers choosing the right herbicide for this situation.
Establishing and maintaining quality annual color beds requires a plan to prevent and control weeds. Weeds compete with ornamental plants for water, light, and nutrients, reducing aesthetic quality and plant growth. To minimize these problems, this publication presents a weed management program that should be developed and implemented prior to planting.
Wet, poorly drained soils present one the most difficult challenges for growing plants in the landscape. Excessive moisture displaces oxygen in the soil and plant roots can suffocate as a result. Many plants are intolerant of having their roots submerged for extended periods of time. Even though standing water may not be present, poor drainage is often responsible for reduced growth and survival of plants in our landscapes.
Bearded iris is a hardy, long-lived perennial that requires a minimum of maintenance. The flowers have six petals; three upright petals (called standards) and three hanging petals (called falls). A fuzzy line or beard runs down the middle of each fall. Flowers come in many colors including blue, pink, purple, reddish, white, yellow, and bi-colors. This leaflet offers some information on growing irises for the home garden.
There are several vines which should interest North Carolina gardeners and landscapers. Vines, when used correctly, can be quite an aesthetic and functional addition to the landscape. Basically, there are three types of vines: those that climb by attaching tendrils to a means of support, those that climb by attaching rootlike arms to a wall, and those that climb by twining. The type of vine which is planted will determine the necessity for a supporting fence, arbor, or wall.
Boxwood, thought to have been introduced to the United States in 1652, has long been associated with colonial architecture across North Carolina. It's suitability for formal and informal landscape use as edging, hedge, screen, accent and specimen plants makes boxwood a favorite of homeowners, landscape contractors and nurserymen.
Summer and fall flowering bulbs provide another dimension to gardening. They add beauty and interest to the landscape and, since most of them are tender, they offer a unique challenge to the gardener. There are a large number of different types of bulbs, offering variations in forms, fragrances, colors, and lasting brilliance which many summer annuals cannot achieve.
This leaflet includes a list of recommended trees that have demonstrated particular resistance to harsh growing conditions, diseases, and insects in North Carolina. It should be emphasized, however, that even these trees have their limits. No single species is suited for all sites and consideration should be given to soil conditions, local occurrence of diseases and insects, microclimate, hardiness zone, and mature tree size when selecting any plant.
To insure a successful azalea planting, cultural requirements, planting techniques, and maintenance should be understood.
This publication offers general recommendations for the timing, methods, and rates of applying fertilizer to shade trees.
This eight-page publication explains how you can build and maintain a compost pile to manage organic yard waste at home.
Never before has the demand for energy been as high -- and never before have homeowners become so increasingly aware of the energy savings possible with landscaping. Although it is not possible to control temperature, wind, and other natural elements, certain landscape practices can help modify the climate in and around the home.
The Holly (Ilex) genus is very popular among landscape architects, nurserymen and home gardeners. Horticulturalists recognize approximately 20 American Holly species, 120 Oriental species, and nearly 200 varieties of the English Holly.
This first of four publications in the Pruning Trees & Shrubs series introduces basic pruning concepts and key terms. Subsequent publications in the series provide more information on woody plant biology, necessary tools and pruning guidelines for general purposes and specific species.
Selecting trees for use under utility lines presents a unique challenge. It is often desirable to have trees that are large enough to provide shade, architectural effects, and ornamental features, all without interfering with overhead utility lines. In this publication, we have listed trees that have a typical mature height of less than 30 feet.
As one travels across North Carolina it is quite evident that azaleas are favorite ornamental plants for home gardeners and professional landscapers. Azaleas offer a wide range of size, form and color, and can be used as specimen plant accents or as a mass planting. Flowering dates are from late March to late June with both ever-green and deciduous types available. Azaleas can be grown all across the state (Zones 6, 7, 8, 9), but in order for these shrubs to grow, mature, flower profusely, and generally contribute to the total landscape, an understanding of the different kinds of azaleas, the culture, and environmental factors is necessary.
Flowering crabapples have tremendous potential as small/medium sized flowering trees that can be grown all across North Carolina. These deciduous, spring flowering trees are adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions and have a variety of ornamental characteristics to choose from, including an assortment of flower color and fragrance, fruit size and color, and tree form.
Dahlias, are a popular addition to the landscape because they have a wide height range (1 to 6 feet) and a variety of flower shapes and sizes (2 to 12 inches). Color range includes orange, pink, purple, red, scarlet, yellow, and white. Some flowers are striped or tipped with a different color. Dahlias begin blooming in early summer and continue to frost. Flower production may slow with high summer temperatures and moisture stress.
This publication offers guidelines on planning a garden and buying bulbs, as well as planting planting techniques to ensure healthy flowers.
Two hydrangea species are native to the southeastern United States -- Hydrangea arborescens and Hydrangea quercifolia. Both are bold-textured, deciduous shrubs which produce small, fertile flowers. Many selections are considered more garden-worthy than the native species because they display large, sterile florets.
Junipers are grown all across North Carolina, in just about every landscape situation: around ski villages at Beech Mountain or around ocean-front cottages on Bald Head Island. There are more than 170 species and varieties being grown by American nurserymen. North Carolinians typically choose certain junipers found in the species J. chinensis, J. horizontalis, J. sabina, J. communis, J. procumbens, J. conferta, and of course, J. virginiana - commonly known as Red Cedar.
For healthy, aesthetic plants, the soil must serve as a reservoir for water, oxygen, and nutrients. While this sounds very straightforward, providing these three essentials can be quite challenging. This leaflet describes the steps to take to ensure these essentials are met in the proper amounts.
A careful selection of plants is very important for coastal landscapes as plants must be tolerant of extreme adverse conditions in the natural environment. The most influencing force is salt spray. Sand, temperature and wind are also influencing factors in plant choice.
Each of us are subjected to stresses and pressures every day in our home, work, and living environment; plants are no different. Unfortunately, there is no "stressless" environment, and there is no totally stress-resistant bedding plant. Each site has its stress level and each plant has its tolerance level. There are steps that can be taken to reduce or avoid stress in the landscape. However, no program can prevent all problems, and the key to successful landscape color using bedding plants is to match the particular site with specific plant species.
There are several selected pines species which are used in North Carolina landscapes, most being large tree forms. Pines are important to North Carolina not only for the ornamental value but also for lumber, watershed management, resin, turpentine and Christmas trees. There are more than 100 species of the genus Pinus recognized worldwide, of which 36 are native to the United States.
One of the most important considerations in developing a landscape plan is maintenance. Currently, many homeowners desire a low-maintenance landscape. A popular project for home gardeners is the reduction of lawn areas and problem spots by the incorporation of the "natural area." This is most easily accomplished with a 3- to 4-inch layer of organic mulch such as pine needles, compost or pine straw. Although the area is to appear natural, it should not detract from the overall landscape appearance.
An espaliered plant is one that has been trained to grow in one plane. In the 17th century, 'espalier' originally referred to the frame or trellis on which the plant was trained. Today, espalier refers to both the two-dimensional tree or shrub or the horticultural technique of actually training the plant.
There are a number of popular bedding plants used in the landscape today; some deserving the attention they get, others not-so-deserving. This publication offers a chart with some under-utilized bedding plants in North Carolina, including characteristics such as temperature and light preferences.
Among the early spring-flowering trees, the dogwood is regarded by most North Carolinians as unrivaled in attractiveness either in its natural woodland habitat or in cultivated landscape gardens. This small, ornamental tree offers landscape interest for all seasons, beginning with its floral display in spring and followed by pleasant green foliage (casting a light shade) in summer. Fall in North Carolina is enhanced by the brilliant show of red, orange, and scarlet foliage along with the bright-red fruit borne in small clusters. In winter, button-shaped buds are prominent on the tips of the twigs. The interesting bark texture and branches help create an excellent winter silhouette.
Ornamental grasses are becoming quite popular for North Carolina landscapes. Designers and gardeners realize the fine accent and architectural effect this group of plants contributes to a garden. As one applies the principles of good design — repetition, variety, balance, emphasis, sequence, and scale — along with the design qualities of color, texture, line and form, one appreciates the many uses and functions of ornamental grasses. (The term "ornamental grass" is really a catchall term used to describe all grasslike plants. These would include sedges, reeds, rushes, and a wide host of others.)
This Appendix from the Extension Gardener Handbook will explain a brief history of land development and its influence on landscape design.
Homeowners and professional landscapers depend on mulch in the ornamental plantings for several reasons. Functionally, mulches discourage weeds from growing, conserve moisture during drought periods, allow better use of water by controlling runoff and increasing water-holding capacity of light, sandy soils. Mulches help maintain a uniform soil temperature. A 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch can add to the aesthetic value of a garden while protecting the base of plants from being injured by mechanical equipment.
Every nurseryman should know how to prune trees and the reason for the various pruning practices. Many landscape problems can be avoided if correct pruning is performed, while the tree is growing in the nursery. Incorrect pruning practices or lack of pruning diminish the quality of the plant material.
Deer are among the most beautiful and graceful but troublesome wildlife in North Carolina. Over the past 10 to 15 years, damage to ornamental plants in landscapes and nurseries, by white-tailed deer has increased dramatically in all 100 counties. This situation has become a problem due to the increase in the size of the deer population in North Carolina and to the urbanization of rural areas. Conflicts between deer and landscaped spaces are expected to increase, as more rural areas will be developed.
We depend on plants to solve our functional and aesthetic needs in various landscape situations. A popular group of plants being recommended and used in modern landscapes is intermediate and small-sized trees. The trees in this category mature to a particular size and are quite "well-behaved" in the landscape. Generally, the trees, both evergreen and deciduous, mature to a height of 35 feet or less.
This second in a series on pruning offers tips on selecting the right tool for the job and for evaluating a tool's quality.
Use of bedding plant color beds continues to increase. A recent indicates that over 15% of the flowering bedding plants produced in this country are utilized by commercial landscapers. However, success with color beds requires planning, proper bed preparation, and an intensive maintenance program--all of which are outlined in this publication.
This publication provides information on six basic steps in the landscape design process.
Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) Identification and Management: Brief Description: Japanese stiltgrass (also known as annual jewgrass, bamboograss flexible sesagrass, Japanese grass, Mary's grass, microstegium, Nepal microstegium, or Vietnamese grass) is a summer annual commonly found in shady, moist areas, and is spreading rapidly in woodlands as well as shaded landscapes and low maintenance turf throughout the southeastern U.S., Mid-Atlantic States and north to New England. Japanese stiltgrass germinates in early spring, several weeks before crabgrass, yet flowers and seeds much later, from mid-September through October. It has broader, shorter leaves than most other annual grasses; somewhat resembling broadleaf signalgrass or spreading dayflower. After frost, the foliage and wiry stems turn a distinctive light tan in color and persist through the winter. Vegetative identification characteristics include: rolled vernation, a very short membranous ligule, and leaf blades that are shorter and broader than most other grasses.
During the winter months it is necessary to offer protection to certain North Carolina landscape plants. Winter protection does not mean to keep plants warm, as this is virtually impossible but to provide protection from damaging wind, heavy snow and ice, the alternate freezing and thawing of the soil beneath the plants and heat from the sun on very cold days.
This pesticide factsheet covers the use and characteristics of Casoron (dichlobenil).
More than 40 sedge species may be found in North Carolina landscapes. Although grass-like in many ways, and the nutsedges are often referred to as "nutgrass", they are not grasses and require different control measures than grasses. Sedges are easily distinguished from grasses by their leafy shoots that produce leaves in "3s" resulting in stems that are triangular in cross section. In contrast, shoots of grasses are flat or round in cross section.
This pesticide factsheet covers the use and characteristics of Dimension (dithiopyr).
This pesticide factsheet covers the use and characteristics of the preemergence herbicide: Barricade, Prodiamine or Regalkade G (prodiamine).
This pesticide factsheet covers the use and characteristics of Gallery (isoxaben).
This pesticide factsheet covers the use and characteristics of Pendulum, Aquacap, Corral (pendimethalin).
This pesticide factsheet covers the use and characteristics of HGH 75 (oxyfluorfen + trifluralin).
This pesticide factsheet covers the use and characteristics of Envoy Plus (clethodim).
This chart presents the grams of herbicide needed for circular landscape beds of various diameters.
Supplemental hand weeding accounts for the majority of landscape bed maintenance costs. When used exclusively, it can cost 10 to 100 times as much as an effective herbicide or mulching program. However, many of the costly and unsightly weed problems can be avoided or at least minimized with a little planning. Developing a landscape weed management plan involves five basic steps.

The bill was not considered in the Assembly Labor & Employment committee this week as planned because there is currently insufficient legislative support for the bill, due largely to the opposition of organized labor. While Assemblymember Daly has decided to use that legislative vehicle (AB 669) for another issue due to the current realities within the Assembly Labor & Employment committee, he remains committed to working with the CRA to find ways to move forward on total compensation and see if a deal can be struck among other lawmakers. Assemblymember Daly spoke to 100+ restaurant operators at the CRA Lobby Day on April 7th, and indicated then to the audience that this effort may take the better part of the 2-year legislative session to find an adequate solution. CRA is redoubling efforts to educate state and local policymakers on the need for a solution that protects wages for tipped staff as well as ensuring a wage ladder for our heart of the house employees.
Recently, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti declared, "For folks from one particular industry who are already earning much more than the minimum wage, for them to get two to three bucks more … doesn't seem logical." The total compensation effort continues in Sacramento as wage discussions continue to be front and center in this legislative session on a daily basis, and wage discussions continue at the local government level all throughout the state where total compensation and teen wage continue to be pushed. The effort continues and the need to mobilize the restaurant community up and down the state is greater than ever and we will continue to enlist your support in the districts of lawmakers as we move forward.

"Extreme Levels" Of Herbicide Roundup Found In Food
By: Emily Cassidy (EWG)
A new study led by scientists from the Arctic University of Norway has detected "extreme levels" of Roundup, the agricultural herbicide manufactured by Monsanto, in genetically engineered soy.
The study, coming out in June's issue of Food Chemistry and available online, looked at 31 different soybean plants on Iowa farms and compared the accumulation of pesticides and herbicides on plants in three categories 1) genetically engineered "Roundup Ready" soy, 2) conventionally produced (not GE) soy, and 3) soy cultivated using organic practices. They found high levels of Roundup on 70 percent of genetically engineered soy plants.
Crop scientists have genetically engineered soy to survive blasts of Roundup so farmers can spray this chemical near crops to get rid of weeds. But some so-called "super weeds" resistant to Roundup have developed. In turn, some farmers use yet more Roundup to try to kill those hardy weeds. This leads to more Roundup chemicals being found on soybeans and ultimately in the food supply. (Full story here)…

Is TOMS—my + elephant's favorite socially-responsible shoe—walking its talk?
TOMS' One-for-One business concept has inspired dozens of mindful companies. And I love the style.
I'm just not sure about the follow-through.
TOMS' latest design is, like all TOMS, made (painfully, ironically) in non-certified fair labor third world countries, according to our sources. Are the rumors accurate? It's hard to believe that TOMS, which donates shoes to poor shoeless children in…third world countries…would be so hypocritical. So, for now, we'll hope for the best and keep an open mind.
Other than these open questions…we continue to loooove this official hipster shoe. I own two pairs, and love 'em.
Other questions I have about TOMS: are the glues mostly toxic, and why do the shoes fall apart kinda quick (not very eco-responsible?!), and why are many of the liners made of leather, when their vegan-soled shoes are just as comfortable? And though it's one for one, they're just giving a basic, super-cheap model to the third world kidsies, certainly nothing that costs what you're paying for the shoes (I paid $55 each for each of my last two pairs, which I loved and wore the hell out of, a couple days a week. One of 'em has indeed almost completely fallen apart, only six months later).
At the Eco Gift conference a few years back, at which Blake and I were presenters (I also hosted a mini-version of our Walk the Talk Show out there, interviewing Mallika Chopra, Max Simon, Rainbeau Mars, others) I asked Blake why they didn't make eco-responsible shoes. He referenced TOMS' line for Whole Foods, which while awesome and stylish and "green," accounts for maybe 2% of their total sales.
Why don't I, or any of we green new media journalist have more facts? TOMS is privately held. That said, they're good people doing good work, and I look forward to hearing more facts and updating this open letter/article.
Charismatic founder Blake Mycoskie and TOMS deserves a great deal of love and credit: Blake has brought the get/give model (pioneered, perhaps, by Paul Newman) some wonderful mainstream business attention (though Crocs, which everyone loves to hate, has given away at least 10x more shoes) and inspired eco entrepreneurs everywhere.
Just hope Blake and Co. can continue to raise the bar that they've set so high.

Microsoft looking to launch iPhone rival on Verizon's networkMicrosoft Corp. plans to take aim at Apple's iPhone with its own version of a touch-screen handset that could launch on Verizon's network sometime early in 2010, according to a report published just minutes ago by the Wall Street Journal.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the financial publication said the two companies are currently discussing possible terms of the deal. It adds that Microsoft has been working on its own touch-screen smartphone hardware under the code-name "Pink."
The project would reportedly leverage and then extend upon Microsoft's existing Windows Mobile operating system, adding new capabilities that would undoubtedly mirror many of Apple's advances in the mobile space, including the Windows Marketplace for Mobile — a clone of Apple's App Store.
"While Microsoft is involved in the design of the phone's software and hardware, a third-party is expected to make the device, just as Google Inc. has worked closely with partners to make handsets based on its Android operating system," the report says. No further details were reported.
On Topic: Microsoft
- Popular iOS keyboard SwiftKey disables sync feature after data leak is discovered
- Microsoft lays off 2,850 more people in continued retreat from phones
- Microsoft Pix promises to improve iPhone photography, independent of the user
- Skype cloud shift will require OS X Yosemite or iOS 8 for full support on Apple devices
- Despite 9% growth, Microsoft Surface sales remain stuck at around 1M units

I have been working on this project on Java with multiple modules. Since quite some time, I have been occasionally getting "java: Out Of Memory" error! I am pretty new to this 'popular' error and wanted to know the general approach to solve such errors.
Also, are there standard tools accepted by the industry to help figure out the cause of such errors?
The modules in my project include every minute polling from a third party (using web service), multi-threading among other things. However, this is just a pointer and I seek a general approach and not something very specific to my project.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
I have been working on this project on Java with multiple modules. Since quite some time, I have been occasionally getting "java: Out Of Memory" error! I am pretty new to this 'popular' error and wanted to know the general approach to solve such errors.
Sometimes you just have an class that uses a lot of memory and you need to increase the heap size or make a more space-efficient algorithm. Other times it is a leak and you need to deference objects.
Yes, there are memory profilers such as VisualVM and YourKit. I use the latter extensively, for both CPU and memory profiling, and find it extremely useful. To get some idea of what it's capable of, take a look at this page: link.
If you can't increase the available memory you have to consume less.
Don't keep references to Objects that you don't need at the time of execution (like data you can reload dynamically) and if necessary redesign your flow (e.g. don't process all objects in parallel and do it sequentially) to require less memory at that time. The garbage collection should do the rest for you.
Especially if you load big data objects into memory consider to use a streaming approach if possible. E.g. you don't need to load a whole file into memory if you want to search through it. You can just step through it.
Besides architectural problems you can also have leaks: keeping unintentional references to objects you don't need anymore. Since they are referenced, the garbage collector can't free the memory and you run out of memory at some point. That is probably the #1 reason for OutOfMemoryExceptions and it usually has to do with
one tool I know of is MAT
You likely have a memory leak. Finding it is a challenge. Netbeans has some tools to help you profile the VM . You can profile your project and view men usage while it runs. Apache JMeter is also available as a plug-in or you can run it on its own. JMeter.apache.org
If you get OOM too often, then start java with correct options, get a heap dump and analyze it with jhat or with memory analyzer from eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/mat/)

About Us:
Alvita Care Serves NYC & Long Island NY
At Alvita Care we supply premier in-home care services designed to enhance the well-being, independence & dignity of our clients in New York City.
Our Company
Alvita Care is a licensed home care services agency and has earned The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval.
We provide relief and assurance to family members who know that their loved ones are happy, safe and cared for.
We don't believe in one-size fits all solutions and tailor our care plans to each individual client's needs.
How Alvita Care Became A Family: Our Heritage
Our founder Tracy never dreamed she would enter the home health care business.
But one day, she realized that the grandmother who had so lovingly raised her was not quite as she used to be. "I was no longer the mischievous little girl who would kick a soccer ball in her dining room," Tracy explained. "But Nana couldn't chase me out of there anymore either."
Tracy's grandma, like so many of our grandparents and parents, was of sound mind and body "She was as spry as can be," Laughed Tracy. "She had never fallen, had a memory like an elephant and never needed anyone's help. But I worried just the same that there might come time when she would need me and I was not there."
Originally from Iowa, upon graduation from the University of Iowa, Tracy moved to NYC to pursue a career in Wall Street. Over the next decade, Tracy and Nana would see each other often but as time passed, Tracy realized that her concerns were now based in reality and something needed to be done. During a holiday in Iowa, Tracy engaged a home care company to assist Nana, at first, with simple tasks and it quickly grew to activities of daily living. Managing Nana's care soon became a second full time job for Tracy as she felt a million miles away from the women she loved and adored. Tracy hired caregivers, nurses, care managers, anyone to help and there was a consistent theme in her experience: caregivers late to shifts, even sometimes not even showing up!, theft, cell phone usage, the list goes on and on. Tracy tried to hire people both privately and through an agency yet her experience remained the same – a complete lack of accountability and responsibility for the office staff and minimal to no compassion and caring for the team taking care of Nana. During the 2005 holiday season, Tracy had enough. She decided to take Nana's care into her own hands and the care of others.
This personal experience was the catalyst for Tracy to leave a career on Wall Street and bring her Iowa roots and help people in New York. Tracy instills a mission and philosophy of care without compromise, which drives home health aides' standard of excellence and belief that seniors can and should live fulfilling and independent lives in their own homes while remaining connected to their community.
In 2012, we changed our name from Home Life Health Care to Alvita Care in order to better reflect the unique perspective we bring to the home care industry. The root of our new name literally means "to life." This describes our commitment to improving the quality of life for each of our clients.
Our Company Values
At Alvita Care, we have a simple mission: to improve lives, maintain independence and protect dignity by rendering the highest quality home care services to each of our clients while fostering a positive and fulfilling work environment for our employees.
To further our mission, we are open and honest in our relationships and straightforward in our communications. We foster a positive environment where both clients and employees feel valued and have a voice. We recognize that our clients are individuals and offer customized service to reflects this.
Our continued dedication to these values is a cornerstone of our success.
Our People & Our Matching Process
Alvita Care employees are not just qualified healthcare professionals. They are compassionate individuals dedicated to their clients. We take great care in selecting our staff and only hire individuals whom we would trust to care for our own families.
It's important to have a caregiver who is compatible with your loved ones. We carefully match an experienced caregiving professional to each client based on his or her personality and needs. We will happily make changes at any time should you desire. Learn more about our caregivers.

PC gamers have never had it so good. While the e-sports scene is ramping up to enjoy unprecedented popularity, powerful graphics cards are becoming more affordable than ever, finally allowing PC to serve as a viable alternative to consoles.
But, whether you aspire to be the next League of Legends or Call of Duty superstar or, more likely, just enjoying a few rounds of Overwatch, you'll assuredly find yourself at a disadvantage if you skimp on your choice of mouse. And assuming you've already shelled out the dough for a robust gaming rig straight out of science fiction, there's no excuse for cheaping out on control inputs.
How to choose the best gaming mouse
Your choice of mouse depends very much on your gaming preferences: if you're into first-person shooters, say, finding the right balance of sensitivity and responsiveness is vital, so you'll need to pay attention to DPI ratings and decide between optical or laser sensors (fear not – leave the technical stuff to us). Whereas if you're into real-time strategy, MMOs or MOBAs, it's vital to pick a mouse that lets you map macros triggering the actions you use most to specially configured buttons.
So, we've picked the 10 best gaming mice: whatever your gaming preferences or needs, one of these will complete your ultimate PC or Mac gaming setup.
1. Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum
The ultimate wireless gaming mouse
DPI: 12,000 | Interface: Wired/Wireless 2.4GHz | Buttons: 11 | Ergonomic: Ambidextrous | Features: Customizable RGB Lighting, 30 hour battery life, removable side buttons
Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum
Wireless gaming mice have a bad reputation and the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum will completely change your mind on them. With DPI scaling between 200 and 12,000 plus no perceptible lag this gaming mouse is ready for everything from your next game of Hearthstone to tournament level Heroes of the Storm. The ambidextrous design is a rarity these days and better yet, Logitech has implemented magnetic buttons that you can simply swap out for a black spacer depending on your handiness.
2. Corsair M65 Pro RGB
A smooth operator that's more sensitive than most
DPI: 12,000 | Features: Advanced weight tuning system, Aircraft-grade aluminium structure, Extra-large glide pads, High-mass scroll wheel, 8 buttons
Few gaming mice manage to squeeze in as many features as the M65 Pro RGB while remaining comfortable during long gaming sessions. Corsair's incredibly well-built gaming mouse fits the hand like a glove and its huge 12,000 DPI sensors allows for silky smooth gliding in any game. Once you've navigated the sometimes confusing mass of options in Corsair's CUE software, the M65 Pro RGB can display some impressive and subtle lighting effects. Other features are novel yet welcome: a sniper button positioned on the left-hand edge, three-point weight customization and a DPI switcher that lights up all the colors of the rainbow. Well: blue, green, yellow, white and red, anyway.
3. Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum
DPI: 200 - 12,000 | Features: 11 programmable buttons and controls, including DPI shift, Customizable lighting from a palette of 16.8 million colors, Up to five 3.6g weights for personalised mass and balance, Surface-turnable gaming sensor with Delta Zero tech, 5 on-the-fly adjustable DPI settings, 3 on-board profiles
Logitech's gaming mouse turns being heavy handed into a good thing. Its hexagonal core can be customized with up to six 3.6 gram weights, giving you a lighter or heavier mouse to wield. Adjusting the mass and balance isn't the G502's only trick: its surface-turnable gaming sensor packs Logitech's Delta Zero tech, which lets you use it on a wide variety of surfaces beyond your regular mouse mat.
Clicking a middle mouse button lets the G502's scroll wheel spin freely, which helps prevent knuckle strain when navigating long webpages and forms. Add to that 11 customizable buttons including four on the left-hand side, a three-speed DPI shift under the scroll wheel and a logo that lights up 16.8 million colours in the dark using RGB backlighting, and you have one attractive, tech-stuffed gaming mouse.
4. Roccat Nyth
The most customizable mouse, bar none
DPI: 12,000 | Features: Custom button layout, Mid-finger fin switch, AlienFX Illumination, 3D printing support, 2x hotswappable sidegrips
Roccat's Nyth is one of the more innovative mice in recent times. Clicking a button pops out its 12 side buttons, which you can then re-configure in any order you like - giving you a potential 36 side button combinations. Mapping is done using Roccat's Swarm driver, which lets you create custom button configurations and map buttons to programs. That makes it suitable for not just MMOs, but a whole range of genres - from FPS to MOBA titles. If you've got a 3D printer, you can even 3D print your own buttons for it.
5. Razer DeathAdder Chroma
Sports a classic design and has an insane DPI
DPI: 10,000 | Interface: USB Wired | Buttons: 5 | Ergonomic: right-handed | Features: Textured rubber side grips, Chroma lighting, 1000Hz Ultrapolling, On-the-fly sensitivity adjustment, Always-on mode
Many pro gamers swear by Razer's PC peripherals, and the Death Adder Chroma mouse is one of the most popular gaming mice around. There's nothing too flash about it (except for the ability to make various bits of it glow in different colours), but it feels right in the hand, is light, the rubber side-grips come in handy at frenzied moments, its optical sensor is tried-and-tested and it goes up to an insane 10,000DPI (probably too sensitive for mere mortals, but it's there if you need it). MMO fans may be slightly disappointed by a less-than-generous allocation of macro buttons, though. But in the world of gaming mice, it's considered something of a design classic.
6. Corsair Sabre
A swift, accurate and lightweight weapon
DPI: 10,000 | Interface: Wired | Buttons: 8 | Features: Four-zone 16.8 million color backlighting; 10,000 DPI optical sensor and multi-color DPI indicator, 100g weight, 1,000 Hz USB refresh rate, Braided easy-flex USB cable
Another impressive mouse from Corsair, the Sabre is comparatively stripped down compared to the M65 Pro leaving just the essentials for a reasonable price. The first thing you notice is how light the mouse is. Its lightweight body combines excellently with its fast and accurate optical sensor to feel like a durable mouse you can wield in your hand for playing games of any genre. Corsair's CUE software is a little fiddly to get to grips with, but once figured out can be programmed to cycle colors around the Sabre's four RGB-lit zones.
7. Razer Naga Chroma
The most colourful MMO mouse around
DPI: 8200 | Interface: Wired/Wireless | Buttons: 19 programmable | Features: Tilt-click mechanical thumb grid, Wireless gaming-grade tech, Charging dock, Chroma lighting with 16.8 million customizable color options, Razer Synapse software, 1000Hz Ultrapolling, up to 200 inches per second/50g acceleration
Razer updated its Naga MMO mousse with Chroma lighting, and once again there's more than enough buttons for fans of the genre to customize their moves. The Chroma Naga is connected using the supplied charging cable, which can be disconnected to provide up to around eight hours of charge. Sporting a sleek black matte design that contrasts well with the shifting colours, the Naga Chroma is a slick addition to Razer's line-up of gaming mice.
8. Mad Catz R.A.T.M
Small rodent
DPI: 6400 | Interface: Wireless | Buttons: 12 (10 programmable) | Feature: GameSmart Multi-platform, USB Nano Dongle, Bluetooth, 1 year from 2 AAA batteries, Adjust grip in 0-15mm in 5mm increments, dang
Finding the right mouse is a perennial problem for gamers who prefer laptops to PCs, but Mad Catz's R.A.T.M has been specifically designed to solve that conundrum. As is typical for laptop-specific mice, it's tiny (which could prove problematic for the giant-handed), but at least it's size-adjustable, and packs surprisingly decent specifications for such a tiny package, with 6,400DPI sensitivity and a clever four-way button that can run five macros. And it's wireless – with a built-in Bluetooth dongle so it works even if your laptop doesn't have native Bluetooth. Worth considering for those who place portability at a premium, but like to play MMOs and MOBAs.
9. SteelSeries Sensei
A shot in the (32-bit) ARM
DPI: 6400 | Interface: Wireless | Buttons: 12 (10 programmable) | Features: Customisable lift distance, Button functionality and CPI, Ilumination, Macros, SteelSeries Engine, 32-bit ARM CPU, 1 - 5,700 CPI, 10.8-MP HD image correlation at up to 12,000 FPS, Tracking movements of up to 150 inches per second
SteelSeries peripherals have a huge following among the professional gaming community, and many pros swear by the Sensei. With 11,400DPI sensitivity and a handy eight macro buttons, it comfortably straddles the first-person shooter/MMO/MOBA divide. Meanwhile, underneath its deceptively conventional looks, it's precision-engineered for all the precision and sensitivity you could desire. And it even lets you customise its "lift distance" – so whatever surface you use it on, you can get it performing perfectly. We can't vouch for your general level of talent, but the SteelSeries Sensei will at least put you on a par with the pros in terms of equipment.
10. Cougar 550M
Responsive and well-built, it's ready to pounce
DPI: 50-6400 | Interface: Wired | Buttons: 6 | Features: Braided cable, Omron micro switches, Gaming-grade scroll wheel, Programmable trigger buttons, Anti-slip flanks, Premium gaming surface, 1000Hz Polling Rate/1ms Response time, 3-stage DPI LED display, Multi-colour backlight system (2 zone RGB)
The Cougar 550M is a durable gaming mouse with a fast 1ms response time. Its side panels feature a mesh design that lend it some Crysis-esque cool and feel great to grip, and its two roomy side buttons on the left-hand edge are easy to press. We wish more manufacturers would make gaming mice with braided cables like the one on the 550M - they do a better job of staying untangled and add to your confidence levels in-game. Located under the scrool wheel, the 550M's DPI switch feels curiously satisfying to press - like changing the gear stick in a sports car. The mouse feels solid in the hand, but its size doesn't make it a great fit for small hands.
